ARCTIC ANIMALS,
MET tIOpS OF HUNTING EMPLOYED
BY THE MUTES OF ALASKA.

Habits CT the Seal-Summer Sports-Thc
Clumsiness OF the walrus-Iha Polar
Bear in His Icy Habitation-Whits
Whales.
Nature seems to have provided certain
animals peculiarly adapted to tho hyper
borean region, and eminently fitted to afford
sustenance to the race who have to withstand
tho cxigencies and severe climatic changes
Of an Arctic zone. The principal animals
Inhabiting tho waters Of northwestern Alaska
are the various members of the seal family.
During the winter the seals, rising on the sur
face, strike against the thin young ice and
make hole. Through these holes they
crawl upon the smooth surface and Lie sleep
ing ct the brink. In the early spring the
first glimpse of sun induces them to forsaks
their watcry homes: and to bask in tho warm
rays seems to afford great pleasure to these
a,nphibio;is creatures. When lying in these
positions tho hunter crawls upon all fours In
as stealthy a manner as possible.
When, after gale, the leo Is broken up
into small leads net made of stout seal
hide is stretched across the chasm, and the
seals rising to blow become cntangled in tho
mcshes. Within tho last decade breech load
ing firearms havo been used by the Mutes
in hunting, but previous to their introduc-
ton spears made with copper or iron heads
were used, the frame for carrying the spear
boing carved from walrus ivory. To the
end Of the spear long coil Of seal line is at
tached, to which at intervals bladders Of the
seal arc fastened. In these ways the hardy
natives hunt the animal which affords them
not only food, but also oil for their lamps
and hides for their clothing. When the icy
wind sweeps over the frozen expanse Of sea,
carrying with it small pellicles of snow that,
striking the face, cut tho skin like charge
of shot; when fog and snow mist envelop
the landscape, a Mute hunter has to possess
grit and nsrve to face conditions that no
white man has ever vet done.
